Poll: What's your favorite ODD food?

Hi Everyone:

I thought a poll might add some cheer to the threads area, everyone always likes to share. Anyway, I was thinking this morning about how I adore under-ripe bananas. A little green around the edges is just great, but once they get a brown spot I am saddened and don't enjoy them nearly as much.

What's your favorite odd food?

Wed. Feb 1, 11:42pm

bison salami. yummy!!! I'll grab a few slices as a snack... or have it with mozza on brown rice/flax/quinioa/sesame crackers...

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 12:10 AM

My boyfriend's favorite is an applesauce sandwich with grated parmesan. I thought it was worth noting. Mine is anything to do with peanut butter.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 12:20 AM

definitely peanut butter, especially on apples.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 3:18 AM

I love slightly green bananas too! Wow, I thought I was the only one! I also love beets, just love them. Mmm.

And that norwegian goat cheese - jetost? I don't remember how it's spelled. That is so good on wasa crackers.

And eggplant, anything eggplant for me too!

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 6:31 AM

everybody thinks i am weird for this but i like avocado sandwiches with spinach on them. its really healthy and yummy to me.

odd food

My favorite snack is definitely odd. My friends would say "eeewww" when I ate it until I got some of them to try it. Now a lot of my friends eat it. My odd snack is a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich. It really is good. My mom got me started on it when I was little. I said "eeewww" to her that first time, too.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 9:14 AM

Well, one of my favorite foods isn't odd to me because of myChinese heritage, but I've seen Fear Factor use them in their food challenges because it's more of an ethnic food.

I like "thousand year old eggs"--which are regular duck eggs that have been preserved in a special chemical process. It makes the whites turn a glossy dark brown/black and the yolk turn a dark green. It has a rich flavor which I cannot discribe.

I like eating the eggs sliced and sprinkled with a sauce of soy sauce, vinegar & sesame oil (sometimes with garlic chili sauce or green onions on top). I will usually it it with bowl of rice "congee" (boiled rice porridge) and a type of canned food called "fried gluten and peanuts" (basically it's little balls of wheat gluten fried up, with boiled peanuts and in oil), and another canned fish called "Fried Dace with black beans".

No, it is not particularly healthy food, but It makes me think of my family, so I like having this every so often in the winter time--kind of a quick weekend lunch or a late night snack and sort of a "comfort food" to me...

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 9:21 AM

pasta with lowfat cottage cheese. my friends thought I was crazy and now they all eat it.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 9:25 AM

hummus and yves veggie baloney sandwiches on wheat bread or just the hummus rolled up in the baloney... don't knock it till you try it!

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 9:47 AM

My favourite odd snack is something I don't really indulge in now since I don't really eat chips anymore but I used to ADORE eating plain chips (ridged or regular) with cottage cheese.

It was salty because of the chips but kinda creamy because of the cottage cheese....Oh man, it was good.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 9:54 AM

The comment about the peanut butter and mayonaise sandwich brought back childhood memories. I don't eat them now, but as a kid we also put dill pickles on them! I could still eat them as an adult, but don't.

I like really ripe bananas. Yes, brown spots and all. Not black but as long as they're firm, I'll eat them.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 9:57 AM

Fat free feta cheese, straight from the container! And green olives, love them!

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 10:36 AM

favorite odd food

Graham cracker-peanut butter-Nutella sandwich: spread peanut butter on one cracker and Nutella on another. Put together: Yummm!! Or, Nutella and banana sandwich (white bread, toasted). Yeah, I have a mild Nutella fetish.

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 10:50 AM

cold pasta with lowfat cottage cheese

i am so with you!!! i love that!

my old Jewish grandfather used to eat egg noodles in cottage cheese, so I actually think this might be a "thing"....

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 11:52 AM

Most of my odd foods were in childhood...

Green grapes with a pretzel stick (the little ones)
White bread, grape jelly and american cheese sammichs
Fresh red raspberry from our bushes with a fresh green pea from our garden sutffed inside

And fried spaghetti. LEftover spaghetti (must have been refrigerated overnight, wiht the sauce and pasta together), in a skillet...turn the heta up and crack an egg over it, and stir stir stir till the egg is cooked (like fried rice kind)

Oh and spaghetti sandwhiches. Leftover spaghetti, inside white bread, and toasted in my sammich maker machine.
*drools*

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 1:04 PM

Wow... to the last poster above, those ARE odd combinations!

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 1:24 PM

I love pickled okra with ranch dressing. :D

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 2:22 PM

OMG it must be the era of our parents!

My mom was all about the pb and mayo sandwiches too! I say eew, but ocassionally have them but she adds pickle relish and lettuce to it.

My mom is from SoCal, LA, old LA family... maybe a west coast thing?

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 3:32 PM

i know three people who like pb and mayo sandwiches. One is from the West Coast. All three are geniuses. Make of THAT what you will!

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 6:15 PM

I am also a genius who loves PB & mayo
also, PB and bacon
... and I love to suck on a salted lemon

Thursday, February 2, 2006, 6:48 PM

Peanut butter an lettuce sandwich with a few raising, maybe some shredded carrots. Don't knock it until you've tried it!

Friday, February 3, 2006, 5:23 AM

I'm a midwestern girl who grew up with pb & mayo sandwiches.

Friday, February 3, 2006, 8:36 AM

peanut butter any mayo

I started the peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich post. I am so glad there are other people who grew up on them too. My mom was from New York state. I made straight A's in school and I am currently making straight A's in college so maybe these sandwiches are brain food:o)

Friday, February 3, 2006, 9:49 AM

I used to make peanut butter and Caro syrup (aka straight corn syrup) sandwiches as I kid. Totally sweet and delicious.

Friday, February 3, 2006, 12:24 PM

Fun topic! I loved to eat elbow macaroni with canned tuna and a dollop of ketchup all mixed together. It sounds gross, and I don't know how (or why) my mother came up with this recipe, but my siblings and I totally think of it as comfort food. I haven't eaten it in years (probably for the best), but I still think of it fondly.

I'm also a green banana lover. Can't STAND bananas with brown spots on them!

Friday, February 3, 2006, 12:37 PM

okay, here goes

seared liverwurst, cream cheese and caper sandwich on pumpernickel

Friday, February 3, 2006, 1:26 PM

It's funny because my roommate and I were just talking about this the other day. I was telling her how as a kid I would put a peppermint stick down the middle of a sour pickle. She says I can now never say anything else about what she eats. Another one that I don't eat anymore is plain Lays potato chips with Texas Pete. I would just dump Texas Pete into the bag and shake it up. Loved it!!

Friday, February 3, 2006, 1:34 PM

peanut butter honey banana sandwiches

as a kid I used to eat those horrible individually wrapped slices of cheese, with peanut butter.

organic unfiltered apple juice with granola (in a bowl... using apple juice instead of milk)

my partner puts ketchup on mac-n-cheese!

Saturday, February 4, 2006, 7:25 AM

Egg and ketchup sandwiches.

Sunday, February 5, 2006, 5:39 AM

fried bologna sandwich

Sunday, February 5, 2006, 9:20 AM

I love hot pretzels, however, I don't like them with yellow mustard, and much prefer them with ketchup.... (almost impossible to find at most hot pretzel places!)... Don't know why, but I think it's because I prefere honey or dijon mustard to yellow mustard.

How about French fries dipped in mayo and ketchup--or dipped in Mayo & Salsa.... or grilled cheese sandwich dipped in mayo & salsa (and NO, obviously, this is NOT a diet food!)

Sunday, February 5, 2006, 12:52 PM

The oddest food I've ever SEEN eaten was someone in college who poured himself a bowl of Fruity Pebbles Cereal and then proceeded to pour a glass of Mountain Dew over it and ATE it!!!

(Yikes, a sugar & caffeine addicted person, I'm sure!)

Sunday, February 5, 2006, 12:54 PM

my fav odd food

Although I dont eat them anymore...a subway sandwhich with a layer mayo, layer lettuce, layer mayo, layer lettuce. Repeat twice more, and that is my favorite sandwhich! That was all I would put on it, it is SO unhealthy (i also put it on white bread) so I havent had it in years, but sometimes I still think about those yummy ol' days! ;)

Sunday, February 5, 2006, 1:54 PM

Before I was lactose intolerant, my favorite odd food was a slice of white toast with cream cheese spread on it, rolled around a few breakfast sausage links.

Not a real healthy thing to eat, huh.

Sunday, February 5, 2006, 2:43 PM

Peanut Butter!!

I am the queen of eating Odd food. I eat Peanut butter on everything.

slice of Apple, peanutbutter and pepperjack soy cheese.

I also used to make this tofu french toast which is basically just pan fried (just the spray stuff on the pan) Tofu strips that have been dipped in a soy milk, eggwhite splenda and cinnamon sauce. Beause its tofu, it doesnt really absorb as well so I pretty much end up adding the cinnamon and spenda to the top later on.

How about Non fat plain yogurt with cocoa powder and splenda

or small peices of unsweetened bakers chocolate with peanut butter and apple

Sunday, February 12, 2006, 10:16 PM

peanut butter in yogurt :)

Sunday, February 12, 2006, 10:33 PM

Its funny I haven't really thought of any of these things as odd. I had a friend who used to eat pizza dipped in mayo, that I thought was odd.

Monday, February 13, 2006, 2:33 AM

Ha! That is odd :)

Monday, February 13, 2006, 6:29 AM

My favourite all time meal od meal is salted duck egg, with super orange yolk mashed up evenly with hot steaming rice. Roll the rice in your hand into a ball and pop it into your mouth.

When I was a kid - I lived off of Bologna and Ketchup sandwiches. Ick.

CoffeeGal

Monday, February 13, 2006, 9:45 AM

he dips his pickles in hot sauce

Monday, February 13, 2006, 10:03 AM

PB, lettuce and MAYO

also, PB and bacon....and my mom is from Ohio!

Everybody at work was looking at me strangely when I brought up these sandwich combinations :-)

I guess some things should remain behind closed doors

Monday, February 13, 2006, 6:38 PM

Pizza and vinegar

Don't eat this anymore, but as a kid I'd eat plain cheese pizza with balsamic vinegar. Sounds strange, but really tasted great.

Monday, February 13, 2006, 6:58 PM

pasta w/ cottage ch

tried it! it was great and my 3 yr old loved it too. we used "chive & toasted onion", ground some pepper and served it on the barilla healty blend pasta.

Monday, February 13, 2006, 8:34 PM

A great sandwich from my grandmother..........

I LOVE this sandwich! I used to only eat it when i eas over her house or when i was in collgeg.
Pbuttter and balony sandwich.

Monday, February 13, 2006, 8:36 PM

Peanut butter and lettuce sandwitch, no bread, use the lettuce as bread.

Monday, February 13, 2006, 8:42 PM

My Son

I am the poster that said my son eats hot sauce on everything. Yesterday he got his Valentines candy out and put hot sauce all over it and then scarffed it down! The kid has to have a cast iron stomach:o)

Wednesday, February 15, 2006, 6:01 PM

Odd Food

I dont eat mine anymore because its too fatty, but I love peanut butter and bacon sandwiches........ awesome :-)

I also LOVE hamd and cheese on a grilled bagel with pickles and mustard, its odd because I HAVE to eat it like 2x a week...... I do low fat version now though

Wednesday, February 15, 2006, 8:25 PM

smoked oysters on saltine crackers.....everyone in the house screams when I open a can because it makes the kitchen smell...(and my husband refuses to kiss me).

Thursday, February 16, 2006, 9:59 AM

Peanut Butter Madness

I like peanut butter(creamy style), mushroom and swiss cheese omlettes with a side of bacon. Whoever came up with this poll/post has made a bright spot in my day.....thanks!

Thursday, February 16, 2006, 1:41 PM

Canned tuna mixed up with mayo and crumbled saltine crackers.mmm. Not necessarily odd, it's just easier than putting it on individual crackers :)

Thursday, February 16, 2006, 2:24 PM

another tuna add-in

I also crush up crutons and out in in my tuna w/ italian salad dressing- yum!

Thursday, February 16, 2006, 2:34 PM

i love salsa . .salsa w/ tortilla chips, salsa on eggs, salsa w/ a grilled cheese . .i have even used salsa w/ some light sour cream as a salad dressing!! haha! i can't get enough of it!

Sunday, February 26, 2006, 1:28 AM

french fires dipped in chocolate shake (usually Wendy's fries in one of thier frostys) so good!
corn with butter and parmasian cheese
tortilla chips with chedder cheese melted dipped in ketchup or tortilla chips sandwhiches made of two chips with a little chedder cheese and deli chicken breast inside and then dipped in ketchup...really yummy.

Monday, February 27, 2006, 1:54 AM

ketchup and crackers, sometimes with a little horseradish.

Sometimes I crave this casserole with shrimp, eggs, tomato sauce and celery.

Monday, February 27, 2006, 6:13 AM

peanut butter and lettuce sandwhichs are the best ever!

Monday, February 27, 2006, 1:12 PM

omg french fries dipped in wendy's choclate shaket are the best ever!

Monday, February 27, 2006, 1:12 PM

It started out as a "dare" when I was a kid, but my siblings and I ate cream cheese on rice cakes with diced hot peppers (the kind you get on deli sandwiches). It's good!

Monday, February 27, 2006, 1:45 PM

Anything with wasabi!

Monday, February 27, 2006, 3:29 PM

ketup and fried eggs, and plain potato chips and ketup

Monday, February 27, 2006, 7:04 PM

ODD FOOD

Taco bell sauce on saltines. mmmm.....

Monday, February 27, 2006, 9:27 PM

odd foods

I had a friend in high school who would put vinegar on his pizza.
My older brother and I used to love to eat peanut butter, bologna, and cheeze whiz sandwiches.
I have a thing for cheese sandwiches but instead of mayo I will often use sour cream.
My uncle is a peanut butter fanatic... he likes it on his hotdogs.
My son will dip anything in ketchup including his carrot sticks or apple slices....

Monday, February 27, 2006, 9:38 PM

pb and onions

my dad love peanut butter and onion sandwiches especially the big red ones or the large sweet white ones.

And for the poster about the hot sauce.... I had a friend in grade school.. I can not believe I remember this she would take saltines, put a touch of margarine or butter on them and several drops of hotsauce.....it was her favorite snack..

Monday, February 27, 2006, 9:44 PM

I just started eating that snack last year! I had this awesome hot sauce from Belize and it was so good on a cracker w/a little bit of margarine!!

Monday, February 27, 2006, 10:36 PM

I'm sorry, some of these aren't odd at all!

I like peanut butter on pancakes, although I no longer eat them this way. I've met quite a few people who do, though, so maybe that's not odd either.

Dill pickle and cheese sandwiches with mayo.

Oranges rolled around until they're soft and bruisy (juice released), then punctured and the juice sucked out through a soft peppermint stick.

My kids eat Top Ramen plain out of the package--that's right, crunchy--sprinkled with the seasoning packet. Not if I know about it. But they do love it, and I know they have eaten it a few times behind my back...

My favorite cornbread is an unusual combination but very good. Must be cooked in a Dutch oven. It involves caramelilzing onion slices in a little olive oil, sprinkling them with brown sugar, then pouring the cornbread batter over the top. While it cooks, I also cook four chopped nectarines with two or three T white sugar and a sprig of fresh basil--right in the oven with the cornbread--so that the juice thickens into a jam. Take out the basil sprig and chop in some more fresh basil right before serving the nectarine jam with the cornbread. The combination of basil, nectarine, and smoky-sweet onion is incredible.

I once got into an interesting discussion when a member of a children's-writers group I belonged to asked us all what we ate on our French fries (her characters were eating together in a fast-food place and she needed this info for their dialogue). Chocolate shake was a common one. Ketchup was common everywhere in the States except certain areas of the West (Utah, Idaho, parts of Wyoming and Colorado and Montana) where we eat more "fry sauce" (a blend of ketchup and mayo, often with a touch of mustard or horseradish). Outside the fry sauce belt, this combination is held in great disgust. I know I have been frustrated at fast-food restaurants in Oklahoma and Missouri and Kansas when no fry sauce was available, and I had to ask for ketchup and mayo and mix my own. East Coasters will use ketchup but were more likely to salt-and-vinegar their fries. The weirdest, though--and unlike fry sauce, this one seemed to win converts whenever it was given a chance--was "poutine." The Canadians will recognize this: Fries topped with cheese curd and smothered in gravy! I'm sorry--I'm an American and we have a reputation for eating some of the fattiest and most disgusting foods on earth, but this dish makes my arteries recoil in horror! LOL! And yet...everyone who had dared to try it loved it...

Wednesday, May 31, 2006, 12:38 PM

-i get strange looks from coworkers when snacking on a plain green or red bell pepper. i'm not sure why this is odd though. i guess most people cut them into strips or something.
-i also LOVE bananas with pretzels. i push pretzel sticks down into the banana. the mushy-sweet + crunchy-salty combination is amazing!
-i really enjoy Mrs. Grass' chicken soup cold. i don't know why. i cook it and then refrigerate it & when i'm ready to eat it i just nuke it for about 30 seconds. delicious.
p.s. once i saw my great-uncle put parmesan cheese on an ice cream cone. i'll never forget.

Wednesday, May 31, 2006, 1:29 PM

pretzels dipped in bbq sauce and
plain chips dipped in mustard (or ketchup)
are both very yummy

Thursday, June 1, 2006, 4:33 PM

dark molasses straight out of the bottle-- it's super good!

Thursday, June 1, 2006, 5:41 PM

1:29 poster--I eat bell peppers that way too! Orange are my favorites. Once I took my daughter on errands and had promised her a treat. She chose a red bell pepper, which she ate out of hand as we wandered through MIchael's. I was stopped by every woman in there. The older ones--"Is that a pepper she's eating? Good JOB, Mom!" The younger ones--"What IS that? How do you get her to DO that?" The younger yet ones--"Oh, yuck, look what that girl is eating!"

Thursday, June 1, 2006, 7:27 PM

Peanut butter and cottage cheese sandwich......talk about protein!!!

Thursday, June 1, 2006, 8:02 PM

I guess "odd" is relative term...

my all-time favorite comfort food: saltines dipped in apple sauce

I also like pretzels dipped in cream cheese.

Also, bananas on soft oatmeal bread (plain - w/ no peanut butter)

To the person who posted this sandwich:
"seared liverwurst, cream cheese and caper sandwich on pumpernickel"
That sounds REALLY good!! I'll have to try that!

Sunday, June 4, 2006, 6:42 PM

Some personal childhood favorites and some more recent

As a kid - I luvd dry ramen noodles - ate them like crazy. I also liked having a paper cup (2 oz size) with dry mintue rice and a lot of soy sauce - don't know what those did to my insides as they swelled up ....

My Mom taught me to eat miracle whip, chedder cheese, and sliced sweet pickle sandwiches - something from her grandfather. I still eat these once in awhile.

In my teens, I really liked candian bacon wrappped around a hunk of cheese with ketchup on top and then nuked until the ketchup started to burn.

In Mississippi and Lousianna area the oddest combo I heard was when I was asked if I wanted French Dressing with my pizza. When I finally tried it, I didn't like it.

I still eat ketchup on my mac & cheese - I can't stand that dish without it.

I guess odd is to the beholder.

Tuesday, June 20, 2006, 3:32 PM

I absolutely LOVE oysters on crackers!!!

Wednesday, June 21, 2006, 10:20 AM

Odd Foods

Noodles with cottage cheese baked with beaten eggs is called a Kugel. Very classic E. European Jewish cuisine, but I always find it bland. As a kid I loved fried salami with ketchup on raisin bread. Around here (IA) sandwiches on raisin bread are making a comeback. My husband's odd one was rice-a-roni sandwiches. PB and hot sauce or salsa is the VERY BEST.

Wednesday, June 21, 2006, 1:15 PM

sweet pickles, and green olives. Not necessarily at the same time, but those are my two fav snacks! I also love capers!

Wednesday, June 21, 2006, 2:33 PM

How fun!

Canned corn, sliced pickles, chopped tomatoes, and mayo in a bowl with lots of sprinkled dill. A really good cold, summer salad.

Saturday, June 24, 2006, 11:13 PM

I don't remember if I've posted this, but I Love my hot pretzels (the soft kind) with KETCHUP... :-)

Saturday, June 24, 2006, 11:27 PM

i thought the "weird food" people would like this thread.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 1:06 PM

When I was in college, I got hooked on dip made with ketchup and cream cheese. Made a great very mild salsa taste for any kind of salty chips. Unfortunately, my tastes have changed and I can't seem to bring myself to eat our beloved dip anymore.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 2:26 PM

Green olives. Don't know why, just love 'em.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 3:29 PM

somehow i don't think green olives fit into the ODD FOODS category...i like eating chocolate, a small piece of dark chocolate, with a cold glass of lemonade (freshly made by me). the sweet and the sour go really well together, according to my palate.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 3:32 PM

Adams natural creamy peanut butter spread between two slices of fat free american cheese. I eat this even when I'm not on a diet.

Also, a toasted English muffin with butter, crunchy peanut butter and Vegemite. I invented this concoction while traveling in Australia and enjoyed it almost every day, much to the disgust of my Aussie friends.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 4:02 PM

grapefruit and peanutbutter. Weird, I know.

Monday, May 14, 2007, 9:19 PM

it's bad... cream cheese pizza

Monday, May 14, 2007, 9:59 PM

Pesto and Horseradish sauce sandwiches. My friends think I'm pregnant.

Monday, August 13, 2007, 6:46 AM

I like cow tongue with horse radish. Not that weird, and tastes good. Hm...nothing that weird.

I think any mother who feeds her kid a PB and Mayo sandwich is a murderer. That is an artery blocker in a can. Horrible.

Monday, August 13, 2007, 10:02 AM

When I lived in upstate NY, I got hooked on Fries dipped in a mixture of ketchup and mayo. Sooo good. Ofcourse, I don't eat that anymore. Also, I love this salad made with kidney beans. mayo, grated parmesan, croutons, and chopped dill and garlic. Amazing.

Monday, August 13, 2007, 10:05 AM

When I was a kid, I liked eating small bites of raw hamburger right out of the package with Lawry's seasoning salt on it. (I used to see my mom do this all the time and she said her mom did it, too) Of course I don't do that now because for one, I don't buy hamburger (tempting still!) and two, I'm afraid of food-borne illness.

Monday, August 13, 2007, 11:07 AM

ok my husband makes this. I thought ewwwwwww but its actually tasty

pork and beans
2 cans of tuna
mash potatoes .. all mixed together sprinkle a lil bread crumbs golden kind and mix.
top with cheese and crushed doritos
and bake till golden brown

its actually good allthought it sounds digusting lol

Monday, August 13, 2007, 11:46 AM

LOVE peanut butter with dill pickle

In college I dipped Cool Ranch Doritos in strawberry yogurt. This came from my roommate, and I only tried it on a dare, but it was yummy.

I'm also a smoked oyster lover... We used to get a can in our stockings every Christmas.

Saltines w/ cream cheese and sun-dried tomatoes (the kind packed in oil).

Salty rice cakes w/ ricotta and garden tomatoes.

Monday, August 13, 2007, 4:16 PM

Peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches
Cream cheese and black olive sandwiches
Omelets with cheese and green olives or capers

Monday, August 13, 2007, 5:12 PM

cow tongue sandwiches! YUM. I grew up on a ranch and the stores never really buy them so my famly ate the tongue (and other less apealing parts) so it wouldn't go bad. It's very tasty and most like it if you don't tell them what it is. I love tongue on sour dough w/ mayo and cheddar cheese. Also I LOVEfrozen veggies. Cauliflower is my fav but I also like broccoli and corn.

Monday, August 13, 2007, 8:32 PM

Limberger cheese, on rye bread. If you can get it past your nose it beats brie by miles. Yummmmmm!

Monday, August 13, 2007, 9:18 PM

watermelon with cottage cheese...love it! Cut the watermelon into bite size and stir into the cottage cheese.

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 10:35 AM

Eating raw hamburger?? Can someone say bacteria??

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 1:49 PM

Mine has to bee Chocolate and Beer! Everything goes w/ chocolate, right?

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 3:07 PM

Maybe not odd but almost every day I have a few green olives.
Just love em.
Bananas oh my gosh can't stand them.. Makes me cringe to even read about them.
Popcorn with tapatio on it.
Pretty much anything pickled. I have often wonder what makes me crave vinegar.
My mom drank gallons of vinegar and whole cucumbers when she was pregant with my brother.

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 6:05 PM

I love sipping pickle juice. Nt drinking, sipping. I pop a hol in the jar lid with a knife, then close the jar. And sip the juice through it. MMMMMMM....

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 7:32 PM

Tuna add in

I love the tuna fish, with the crushed crackers, a spoon full of salsa & a little mayo....now that is Yummy!

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 8:35 PM

My husband likes chocolate milk and raisin bran.....I guess it a military (Marine) thing. He said they used to run out of regular milk so the guys got used to raisin bran with chocolate milk.

Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 8:45 PM

favorite weird food

I found my newest absolutely favorite weird food by reading my favorite novelist, Haruki Murakami. In one of his novels, one of his characters makes a sardine sandwich. I decided to try it. I bought a can of smoked sardines from Trader Joe's. They are from Portugal. YUMMY!!! I made a delicious sandwich on toasted rye with red onion, tomato, and arugula dressed with a wine vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette and sprinkled it with pepper. I think I used mayo on one piece of bread and a garlicky mustard on the other slice. DOUBLE YUMMY!! Now I eat these little smoked fishies along with a salad for lunch...or just when I am in a hurry, all by themselves, right out of the tin. Only 240 calories for 4 of 'em packed in olive oil.

Odd Food? BUT VERY HEALTHY!

PURE SALBA, its very slimy but its really good for you!
Its a seed from Peru with lots of Omega 3 and fibre.
Its better than flax!

Odd but healthy

I eat alot of odd combinations - really like cooked chopped broccoli with diced sweet pickles and a couple crackers sprinkled on top - low cal but tasty. Before dieting I use to put a little dressing in also - Great Thread.

9:14am, when I was growing up a girl tried to get me to eat pb with mayo, sorry BUT IT WAS LIKE ewwww though, sorry just reminded me of that childhood memory!

I love dill, in my salad especially or with peanut butter! ( I don't do it as much but yum)
Also, pizza with ranch or french fries with ranch, yum!

hahaha my kids LOVE wendy's frosty with fries...

Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 11:07 AM

The only thing that I can think of along these lines is that when I was younger (Junior High and HS) I would make bologna sandwiches-either cold or fried bologna-with mayo and lay a thick stack of Ruffles on top of the bologna.. I liked the mushiness of the sandwich and the crunch of the chips.. But the good thing was that my mom was always on WW, so my bread, mayo, and bologna were diet!! lol

Where do you get fat free feta cheese?? ive been looking for so long!!

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 1:17 AM

Potatoes with either bbq sauce or ketchup
banas frozen and dipped in oats and yogurt
and plain oat bran with hot water. so weird. but rlllllly good. or mixed with some sort of yogurt. i have also done the yogurt with cocoa powder as well

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 1:21 AM

Probably not wierd, but deffinately unhealthy.

When I was in high school and college I used to crumble up fritos on all my sandwiches. I don't know what my deal was. Either the sandwich needed more salt, or maybe I just liked crunchy.
I have a friend that does the pb and mayo thing. I can't bring myself to try it, everytime i hear the combo my tummy goes to turning. :b

drinking maple syrup 0=) not a lot... but having it with nothing else

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:20 AM

Odd food...

When I was a kid, I would sit on the kitchen counter, and sprinkle salt on lettuce leaves, and eat it like that - no idea what possessed me to eat that combination, but it's good!

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 11:45 AM

My mom eats onions like apples.

I make goolaush every morning- yogurt w/ splenda, some cut up fruit, vanilla, dry oatmeal and flax seed. It might sound normal to you other dieters but my family is terrified of it.

I'm from the SE coast and we roast our own oyters all the time! Yummy!

My greatgrammy would "melt" graham crakers in milk and make a porridge.

And for french fries- i dip them in mustard.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 1:01 PM

My son loves dill pickles dipped in orange juice!
He takes a glass of OJ fills it with pickles and eats till they're gone.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 2:14 PM

I bought fat free feta at Heinens or Giant Eagel, here in OH. I have bought it at Publix and Harris Teeter and Piggly Wiggly in the South.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 3:19 PM

Cheese pizza with A1 sauce

Also, fresh steamed broccoli with ketchup

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 4:08 PM

pizza dipped in ranch.

We had whole tables of kids putting chips or fritos on their snadwiches. I rarely eat sandwiches or chips, but when i do i still do it like i did in HS

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 4:49 PM

cheddar cheese and nutella sandwich
it's so good

Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 8:49 PM

Dilled carrots (ie, carrots pickled with garlic and dill, like a regular dill pickle) with peanut butter on toasted flax and rye bread.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 9:12 PM

As far as the peanutbutter mayo sandwich goes, I like to add sliced apple and banana to mine as well.

I love baby food. Not the meals, but the fruits and desserts (it's not really odd, just good and healthy, but it sounds odd to some perhaps).

I like a lot of things just with crackers, Like crackers crumbled in orange juice and eaten with a spoon. an apple or rice cake or popcorn alternating with bites of an apple (or a banana). Also plain crackers with plain lettuce on top.

cold soup out of the can with crumbled crackers in it.

Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 6:00 AM

OP - I am the opposite! I love to let my bananas get a few brown spots before I enjoy them to the fullest!!!

Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 4:38 PM

When I used to be fat:
French fries dipped in pickle juice
French fries dipped in chocolate frosty
Cheddar cheese and mustard sandwiches

Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 4:43 PM

I pour quaker oats (dry, uncooked) into a small dish and eat it with a spoon.

Thursday, May 28, 2009, 9:23 PM

koolickles

I've read most of the previous posts and haven't seen this one.
How about pickles soaked in Kool-Aid? Sounds awful but is strangely good!

Thursday, May 28, 2009, 10:31 PM

I can only eat slightly green banana's too...once they get brown spots, they're too sweet!! Wow. I thought I was odd :)

Friday, May 29, 2009, 1:31 AM

A dill pickle and cheez wiz sandwich.

Friday, May 29, 2009, 1:35 AM

liverwurst. By itself, on crackers, in a sandwich... YUM

liver and onions (not so weird, but I'm the only person I know who likes it)

My brother is the KING of odd food. He puts Kipper snacks (canned fish) into ramen noodles. sometimes he adds spiced mozzarella cheese or peanut butter. Once he pickled hardboiled eggs just to see if he could, and he ate them over the course of a few months.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 1:43 PM

1:43 here again, I thought of some more!

Spicy cheetos dipped in cream cheese

an egg fried in a shallow pan full of tomato sauce

I love this thread. I'm gettin ideas of things to go home and try. LOL

Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 1:51 PM

This is a great thread!

I used to eat "Mexican Hats". Take a piece of bologna, warm it up, put some warm instant mashed potatoes on it and then top it with melted american cheese. I loved that!

Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 4:22 PM

I love this thread too! Brings me back to when I was a kid...

Some of my favorites: peanut butter and coconut flakes on a rice cake with a touch of honey sometimes too...MmmmMmmm, french toast stuffed with cream cheese topped with syrup, cheerios with orange juice instead of milk, sticky white rice in vanilla rice milk with a touch of cinnamon and sugar (possibly not that odd), we also used to eat baked potatoes with ground turkey and ranch dressing for dinner... that's all I can think of for now!!

Now a days I jsut put hot sauce on EVERYTHING... yum!

Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 5:01 PM

Ketchup on Raw Mushrooms, Eggs, All Steamed veggies, and Pickles
Microwaved Lettuce sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese
I Can't Believe it's not butter sprayed on Rice Cakes that are buttered flavored!
Eating Sprinkles by the spoonfulls
Fat Free Redi Whip with cocoa puffs cereal
